NoCaSynE - International Symposium on New Perspectives on Non-Canonical Syntax in English
The symposium on Non-Canonical Syntax in English was held at TU Dresden on 2 and 3 September 2017. See the Call for Papers here.
The symposium investigated how studies indebted to different understandings of the term 'non-canonical' as well as focusing on non-canonical syntactic constructions in specific forms of English can benefit from each other.
